TRANSPORT AND PLACEMENT

1. When transporting the chest freezer from one place to another, the inclination of the cabinet should not exceed 45 degrees, for prevention against compressor or system damage.
2.  Before use, remove all the packing material. The back side of the cabinet should be more than 20cm away from the wall, both flank sides more than 20cm.
3. The freezer should be put in well-ventilated, dry place. Don’t use it under direct sunshine. The freezer should be kept away from water sink, heat source and any volatile, corrosive material.

POWER SOURCE AND TEST-RUNNING

1. Check that the electrical installation in your home complies with that specified on the sticker located on the back of the Chest Freezer.
2. If the electric cable needs to be replaced, it must be replaced by a Qualified Technician.
3.  Single-phase power supply, 50Hz, voltage range 187~242V. If the voltage is unstable, please install a voltage stabilizer with capacity above 1000W.
4. Avoid turning on and off the power too frequently. If the power is turned off, wait an interval of 5 minutes before turning it on again.
5.  When the freezer will be out of use for a long time, disconnect the power first, then clean it. Please examine the circuit whether it is excellent before reuse.

CONTROL PANEL

Control the temperature using the temperature adjustment knob, which is located on the panel located at the front of the freezer. ****

1. POWER LIGHT INDICATOR
   The green light comes on whenever the freezer is connected to the electric current.

2. RUN LIGHT INDICATOR
   The blue indicator light only lights up when the freezer is working to reach the selectedtemperature.

3.   TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT BUTTON
   Use this button to select the desired temperature

OPERATION

The temperature in the cabinet can be controlled with the temperature control knob.
TEMPERATURE: -12ºC to -26ºC

Position 1: -12ºC (±3ºC)
Position 4: -19ºC (±3ºC)
Position 7: -26ºC (±3ºC)

Note: temperature for reference only, it may change according to the amount of food stored and exterior temperature.

• Turn the temperature adjustment knob clockwise to the maximum freezing position «7». The higher the number, the lower the temperature.
• Leave the thermostat at the maximum position for 3-4 hours.
• When maximum freezing is reached, turn the thermostat to the normal operating position, number «4», as the freezer must not be switched on at the maximum freezing position for a long time.
• To switch off the freezer, turn the thermostat to the «OFF» position and disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet.

FOOD STORAGE

1.  There must be space between the foods stored in the cabinet, between the foods and the inner surface of the cabinet, so as to keep good ventilation of cold air and freeze evenly.
2. For foods that should be moisture-free or lose water easily, wrap them up with hermetical food bags or fresh films before putting in the cabinet for the sake of avoiding smell-mixing and reducing frosting.
3. Storage of volatile and combustible gases, liquids such as strong acids, petrol, etc. is forbidden.

DEFROSTING

1. Defrost for better freezing efficiency when the frost film in the cabinet is 4-5mm thick.
2. When defrosting, turn off the power, take out the frozen foods, open the door for warming and melting. Use soft cloth to absorb water and clean it up.
3.  You must remove the cover from the drain hole located at the front of the freezer, so that the water inside can be drained. Use a soft cloth to absorb excess water from inside the freezer and also wipe it clean.
4. Do not use sharp metal tools such as steel brush to clean the frost film when defrosting so as to avoid evaporator damage.

MAINTENANCE

1. The freezer should be cleaned regularly. When cleaning, turn off the power, take out the foods in the cabinet, clean the inside using water or a little neutral detergent.
2. Do not use boiling water, acid, chemical diluents, petrol and oil, or dirt-removing powder.
3. Dry it after cleaning.
4. Use light soap water when cleaning the door seal, apply a little of talcum powder on it after natural drying to extend its service life.
5. Use soft cloth with water or a little detergent to clean the out surface. Note, keeping the power supply and lower part of connect wires away from water to avoid electricity leakage.
6. The freezer can only be repaired by a Qualified Technician, you must not disassemble or try to repair the freezer yourself, to avoid aggravating the problem. Unauthorized repair of electrical parts such as compressor and temperature controller are  rohibited.
